Huddersfield 2 Leeds 4....United top dogs in Yorkshire
Leeds United pulled off a stunning 4-2 win in Huddersfield's back yard to give Neil Warnock a 64th birthday to remember.
Leeds initially trailed to a 12th minute Chris Atkinson strike, but equalised on 32 through Michael Tonge before a stunning drive on 35 minutes from Luciano Becchio put us ahead.
Former White Adam Clayton levelled from the penalty spot two minutes before half time but second half goals from Norris and Becchio's second proved there is just one team in Yorkshire.

Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.
Cardiff AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.
Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
Patience Pays off as Solomon signs for LeedsAs Manor Solomon joined us on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur, the club were quick to justify their approach to the transfer market when they announced the news on the official website.
Sheffield Wednesday AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Sheffield Wednesday is at 8pm on Friday and once again this fixture is live on Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more! The only surprise is that the police allowed an evening kick-off instead of insisting on Saturday lunchtime.
